Search Engine Optimization

What is Search Engine Optimization – SEO?

Search Engine Optimization: It is the practice of optimizing your website content to obtain high-rank placement in the search results pages of search engines in order to increase the amount of visitors to your website. SEO services help to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found and ranked by the search engine.

While there are many SEO service companies that charge monthly fees for on-going efforts, I have found those are not necessary. Many of them guarantee results – by having you pay for on-going ad-words campaigns. Many charge monthly for services that they don’t even do. Or, they charge for writing content for you, changing up your web pages, writing blogs. This is something you can do or pay me to do as on-going website maintenance. *Note, my maintenance plans are a lot less money than what these SEO places will charge, and I only deduct time from the plans when I actually do something.
